Title: Hopefully a simple question on Music views
Post by: soulship on May 27, 2010, 04:35:30 pm

I just upgraded our media theater computer to mc15 from 13 and I am struggling to get my old album view back. MC used to list artist with all the albums and on albums with various artists it just listed the album without all the artist broken out. Is it possible to get this view back?

my first guess is that you used [artist] in the view. when you use [album artist (auto)] instead you get all the multiple artists as one, just like with 13.

Thanks Gappie!
So close, but still not getting it :(

I have a bunch of Blue Note comps that are still breaking out all the individual artists. Hmmm.. Still trying things randomly if you have any other ideas.

For the Blue Note comps check to see what the [Album Artist] tags are listed as. It could be that they just got assigned the [Artist] value somewhere along the line. [Album Artist (auto)] will use [Album Artist] if that tag has a value, otherwise it does some MC magic to determine it.

Thank you I will look at the tags next and see what's going on under the hood.
